We're using GOOSE protocol for substation communication. The protocol is supported on Cisco Industrial switches. My understanding is that the protocol encapsulate to the Ethernet frame and is supported by IEEE, thus it should work with any Cisco switches, not just the industrial switches. Is that true?

any one?

Hi,
Yes you are right. It works on any Cisco switch. GOOSE is layer 2 multicast and will work just as well on other switches. Our industrial switches have support for typical IEC 61850 layer2 redundancy like PRP / HSR. The enterprise-series doesn't.

Hi.
We have a problem with swithing GOOSE frames over CISCO Catalyst WS-C2960C-8TC-S Switch. Topology is very simple - GOOSE Generator -> Switch -> Host.
GOOSE Generator send L2 multicast traffic to destination 01:0c:cd:01:00:00 but host don't recieve this traffic. If we place hub instead of switch host recieve GOOSE traffic.
On switch port no errors, no drops, no runts or giants.
We try disable igmp snooping for vlan and globally, try disable switchport blocking multicast on ports - did't help.
Host successfully ping GOOSE generator.
Futrher we configure GOOSE Generator send unicast traffic where destination is MAC address of the host and even then host don't recieve GOOSE traffic !!!
We try place switch other vendor instead of cisco switch and host recieve GOOSE unicast/multicast traffic.
L2 GOOSE frame have one special characteristic is type IEC 61850/GOOSE (0x88b8).
How cisco switch 2960 may blocked GOOSE unicast/multicast traffic?

Hello reall1201,
i've read that you recieve goose traffic over a cisco catalyst switch. I'm very new with Cisco and maybe i have't the experience to configure this.
When i configure the switch it wouldn't work to me. Can u Help me and explain what you did ?

Hello masak,
In theory you are correct it SHOULD work, but in the REAL world we have seen that non-IE series cisco switches and also the IE series drop GOOSE packages. This can be fatal to employees and equipment. The only cisco switches afaik that are certified for the IEC 61850 protocol are the IExxxx series but who is the certifying authority? Further PRP and HSR are not IEC 61850 redundancy protocols but are defined and standardized by IEC 62439. But the O.P. question remains - how do we in the REAL world get this fuctioning with cisco switches?

What does the output of following commands show:
show ip igmp groups
show ip igmp interface

Also check the "unknown protocol drops" on the interface facing the Goose sender; possibly the vintage 2960 is ignorning the ETHERTYPE of Layer2 frames for Goose.
